trans-Dichloridobis(4-nitro-aniline-κN(1))palladium(II)

In the title compound, [PdCl(2)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O(2))(2)], the Pd(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted square-planar geometry by two N atoms from two 4-nitro-aniline ligands and two Cl atoms in a trans arrangement. Inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving the amino groups and chloride anions lead to a chain along [100]. These chains are further self-assembled into a three-dimensional network through N-H⋯O and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
